External Hard Disks 10 Tb

Purchased this because it was one of the few external HD that had a USB-C generation 2 connection. Noticed much faster transfer speeds almost immediately. Its quiet and, so far, very reliable. I bought the 8 TB because the price jump to the 10 TB was significant. Of course, the 10 TB went on sale a week or so later and would have been an even better buy. I am using it on a PC so had to reformat it. The instructions that came with it weren't exactly correct and so did a little internet search to find the correct reformatting procedure.

My 3 TB Seagate External Hard Drive went along with 80000 images. I was devastated . Luckily I had done GoodSync Backup and was able to get all my images back onto this 6 TB WD External Hard Drive. I bought two of these , the second one for backup. I plan to buy a third to keep off site.

At $$, you cant really beat the price for 2 TB on an external Hard Drive right now. Even if you could, I would recommend going with this Western Digital HD. I have had other WD Passports and even after 5 years, 3 continents, and much wear; they are still alive and kicking! It also Shipped fairly quickly and seems more heavy duty than older versions. The good part about that though, is the size isn't compromised! Its still about the size of a cell phone or a passport.

I work in film editing and I have several smaller external hard drives (8TB, 5 TB, 4 TB, 2 TB, etc.). When I got a new stationary computer I decided to re-distribute what was on those smaller drives and keep a master external hard drive attached to my new computer. I got this 20TB for that purpose, and it does exactly what I need. With a stable connection and a reasonable speed of information transfer, I was able to re-organize and stabilize my existing projects, while establishing a central location for new projects as well.

I go through 7 or 8 external hard drives, ranging from 2 to 14 TB. I edit video in hotel rooms, airports and other odd places as I roadtrip for my job and YouTube channel. I keep coming back to this hard drive because it takes my uploads fast, works well with Final Cut and doesn't fail on sharing or rendering the project as other hard drives do. I also don't have the audio and video lose synchronization as I am editing. That happens a lot with some other drives, especially as they near bring full. Great product!

Changed my external storage from Drobo using hard drives to 4x4 TB SSD's. Used tech assistance by phone from OWC to format the new drives and to initiate data migration. Works great. Compact, fast data transfer and no heat.

The 4 TB elements external desktop hard drive by Western Digital was an excellent choice for me to back up my new 3 TB iMac 5K retina computer. Over the years, after using many different hard drive brands, I settled on western digital exclusively. I've never had a problem with any of their hard drives,which cannot be said for Seagate or some of the other hard drive manufacturers. And it was a great price as well.

I always trust on WD external hard drives, specially when is about this 1 TB drive. When I connect it to USB 3 runs very fast, I need this drive to work like that because I carry my sounds and plug ins everywhere. Good job WD.

I have several WD Elements external hard drives and they work great! I bought the 12 TB because my files are getting larger all the time.

If Western Digital made in an 8 TB shirt pocket portable external hard drive I could buy at a low enough price, I would. However, currently, it appears that only the 4TB size or capacity My Passport portable external hard drive is available. The current one I got is yellow, because that's the color I want it this time. I like to get different colored portable hard drive so I can more easily distinguish between them, since I keep different content on different portable hard drives. Last year, I bought a red colored 40b my passport portable external hard drive through Best Buy. I believe I paid around $130 or so for it. And it has worked just fine. I store all of my movies and digital videos solely on that red Drive. But it is getting close to being filled. So I needed to get another portable hard drive to put new movies on it. I'm just trying to figure out which movie is I will put on which hard drive. It has been so nice having them all on one drive heretofore, making searches for what I have and where I have it quicker and easier. I transferred all of my documentaries on to mine yellow it's hard drive that I just bought from BH photo. It seems to be working flawlessly, as my other WD My Passport drive has and does. I will add that it only took 3 days from the time my new yellow WD My Passport 4TB portable hard drive shipped from New York that I received it in Utah, which is great! (Usually, it often takes a full week)! It was a little weird to have to wait until a certain time in the evening, when The Jewish Sabbath ended, I suppose, before I could digitally order the hard drive from them on Saturday evening. However, I too am religious, and believe In keeping the Sabbath day holy--so I can understand why they do what they do, somewhat. I we paid around $110 for this WD 4 TB hard drive, which is about 20 bucks less than a cost me for the same hard drive through or from Best Buy last year sometime.
